SHAVING-CUIP.

United States, residing at the borough of Manhattan, city, State of? NewYork, have invented an Improvement in Shaving-Cups, of which thefollowing is a. specification.

y invention. relates to a shaving cup of vitrifiedl material, and:the-object of' my in- Vent/101118 to providesuch a. cup with a rewill beeven with the bottom of "the cup, an

Byturning the cylindrical screw (2 as the upper surface of the soap wearsaway, the slab 0 is raised with the cake of soap so as to keep the uppersurface always even with the bottom of the cup.

hen the cake of soap is used preferable to remove the slab and thecylindrical screw and wash the same thoroughly,

and as these are of vitrified material such as glass, porcelain orearthenware, it is a very easy matter to thoroughly wash the same andremove all particles of foreign matter and render the same as fresh,clean and wholesome as when absolutely new. The parts are then replacedwith a resh cake of soap ready for use.

I am aware that shaving cups have heretofore been devised of metalproviding for a cake of soap in the bottom of the cup to be raised asused, but the same has been of complicated construction, substantiallyin separable, insanitary and unclean, liable to clog and by moisture becovered with verdigris so as to be insanitary and substantially useless,whereas in the device of my invention every part being made of vitrifiedmaterial and separable, may be most thoroughly and perfectly cleansed.

1. As a new article of manufacture, a shaving cup of vitirfied materialhaving sides of downwardly increasing thickness and a thickenedperforated base and having a skirt or circular standard extending downfrom the thickened base and elevating the cup, the perforation of saidthickened base being off-set, a slab of vitrified mater1a1 fittingwithin the upper part of the perforation which is also adapted toreceive a cake and a cylindrical exteriorly threadof soap and centrallyed body movable vertically through the base of the cup slab and soap.

2. As a new article of manufacture, a shaving cup of vitrified materialhaving sides of downwardly increasing thickness, and a thickened basewithan off-set perforation therein, the upper part of said perforationbeing. angular, with vertical walls, and the lower part circular andinteriorly screwthreaded, a support member formed as a prolongation fromthe thickened base of the cup, a slab of vitrified material of angularoutline adapted to fit the angular perforation, which portion is alsoadapted to receive an angular cake of soap, and a cylindrical exteriorlythreaded body movable vertically and centrally through the lowercircular portion of the aperture of the cup for raising the slab andsoap.
